Leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage that tend to shrivel when stored at home. I used to wash with hot water at 50 degrees Celsius, but I found an item in Ceria that can be stored without any hassle.


"Vegetable Fresh Keeper" is a freshness-preserving product that is used by sticking vegetables with a core such as cabbage, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, and broccoli. By breaking the growth point in the core of vegetables, the growth speed can be suppressed.


It's 100 yen (excluding tax) for a set of two, so this time I verified it with the lettuce and broccoli I just purchased. The pick also has a ring that allows you to catch your finger, making it easy to pierce a hard core. I often see the tricks of using a toothpick as a substitute, but I'm glad that I can stab it all at once because it may break in the middle.



After stabbing the pick, it is recommended to store it in a zipper bag or plastic bag.


And a week later ... The lettuce I used a little bit still had some firmness on the remaining leaves! I was surprised that the cross section of the core had not changed since it was stabbed.




The broccoli buds do not open and remain the same as when you bought them. This certainly seems to work ...!


Of course, it is a good idea to use up the purchased vegetables while they are fresh, but the "Vegetable Fresh Keeper" seems to be reassuring when you buy them in bulk or receive them in large quantities. Why not check it out when you visit Celia?
